STILL HAVING PROBLEMS?
BEFORE YOU CALL...
In order to allow us to help you more effectively, please try

support to help you solve any problems. You should at least

and directories are, and what utilities are available on your
machine for editing text files.
2. FIND OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ABOUT HOW
YOUR MACHINE IS CONFIGURED.
What version of what brand operating system is running on
the machine? (At the command prompt, type “VER” and hit
enter to find out what version of DOS is running) What
kind of chip is running your machine? (‘486? ‘386? ‘286?
8086?) How much memory is in the system? How much
conventional memory is free? How much hard disk space is
free? What kind of video card is in your machine?
(SVGA? VGA? EGA? Brand name?) What kind of
sound card, if any, is in your system? Do you have a
CD-ROM drive? Are you using
Stacker, Doublespace or some other kind of disk
compression? Are you using QEMM or some other
third party memory manager? If Windows 3.1 is
installed on the machine, you can run Microsoft
Diagnostics to find out some of these things, if you
do not already know about them (type “MSD”,
